Hi alltogether, I have the problem with freezes at random times too. My configuration is: ASUS P4C800 Deluxe Mainboard BIOS-Version: 1019.002 AMI-BIOS, Intel P4 2,6 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, ATI 9700 PRO, 160 GB Hitachi SATA-HDD as bootmedium, USB Keyboard and USB Maus from Logitech. I found out, that the freezes are associated with the following settings:
Without any changes at the "Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Alternate"-installation my machine freezes with the Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic, 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386. To get more stability I have to change 1. The Bios-Setting ACPI 2.0 support from disabled to enabled. 2. Uninstall powernowd 3. Install the ATI-driver 8.39.4 With these settings and Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic my machine runs without any freezes; with the kernels 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386 my machine freezes within 30 minutes max. If I add the additional kernel parameters noapic nolapic irqpoll ht=on my machine freezes a few minutes after reboot with various programs. If I uninstall the restricted graphics driver my machine freezes a few minutes after disabling and with all kernels above-mentioned and various programs. While I am writing this comment I test the "sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop" with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic - it still works.
